Photography experiments

Did a little bike ride to Meridan and took a few photos along the way - a thinly veiled excuse to keep stopping so I didn't look like a weakling up them thar hills.  More HDR photos for you (my addiction continues) I also wanted to try out a couple of stereoscopic photos.  These are photos taken in quick succession from different viewpoints that, when viewed together, give a 3D image.  You look a bit odd when taking them as you do a little photography squat and lunge to either side to take each photo, if you do this with your bike helmet on as well, be prepared for some strange looks.

Cars should always be seen in HDR
 To see the double images open them up so they are bigger and then cross your eyes. ***disclaimer: don't go blind now*** The Midlands shall be revealed in glorious 3D!  They have turned out better than I thought they would.  Next I should probably find more interesting subjects but when your legs have turned to jelly from bike riding and various artistic lunges, all thoughts are channelled into finding creative ways to keep upright.

My talented Mum!


 She makes cakes you know.  I love this one.  Done for a wedding on Sunday.  It is all sparkly and the flowers are all edible and lovelyness!  Had to take a photo of it, creativity in the Allen household is at a high!









Sparkle sparkle!
